I'm expecting them to make a working online for it, add a couple of pc settings and call it a day.

Dogura earned that win. I'd be tight as fuck after all those successful run up grabs.
I want them to take a cue from Capcom and Lab Zero's efforts, but I'm expecting the worst.

Run up wild throw is the most legit mind game.

Da Feet Lee restreaming the Chengdu cup. Nemo vs Poongko in winners with Infiltration and Kindevu? in losers.

It's pretty cool. Plays like the old Jedi Knight games (minus the force powers).
Doesn't really play like a fighter though, so don't get it expecting that.
mike z would make a balanced game too, but i want some arcsys crazy brokenness in there. it seems fitting to the show. so like arcsys should hire alex and make the game

SG is balanced much like Vsav in the sense that every character has near broken stuff to take advantage of, but Lab Zero has been forthcoming every patch of the way for years. That makes it much easier to take in. With ASW we just have to rack our brains and add intent and logic to the weirdest nonsense. I mostly got fed up with that lack of communication after UMvC3 and after seeing the run up grab nonsense with Sol I'm not in a rush to jump back in. That said, you must not have fought good Eliza, Robo Fortune and Fukua players. SG full of stupid crap that even I and the real top tier of SG hate. I nearly lost a lung when Duckator said voters made a mistake putting Eliza ahead of Annie. That mummy bitch is out of control with the overhead hitboxes, grab tech'ing skeleton and her DP.
Edit: We'd also lose GGPO with ASW. ASW will always lose their way when it comes to netcode.
I've been putting a lot of time into it. Just recently I decided to make Urien my secondary character since he has Aegis reflector and a projectile game. My Alex has improved by leaps and bounds just over the last couple of days thanks to fighting Beef though (God rest his soul). I hated it with a passion, but he plays a mean SF2 game despite being in the 3S room. That will make you realize how important it is to be patient and Alex demands that with his weak grabs, supers and mixup game.
I'm somewhat less salty about people not voting in Annie now that she'll be in Indivisible, but still not over the fact that they picked Beowulf over her. I admittedly haven't kept up with Skullgirls as of late, so I don't even know if all that many people even play him.
When we playin?

Team Starwolf was a thing. The meme potential with him and Annie was going to be the stuff of legends. It shows in his story mode lol. Annie's vote was just split because of Minnette. These things happen. Beowulf gets a lot more play than I expected, but it makes sense considering his tool set. He has AA capability (including a super), a bionic punch super, a projectile, a rushing command grab, pretty easy chains, some of the best armored moves in the game, and a stupid good short-hop overhead game that Sasquatch would be proud of. I'm almost more scared of him up close than I am of Eliza. He is probably the second best DLC character.

nothing makes me more irrationally salty than thinking about the fact that minette isn't in sg
No. Knowing what comes next doesn't make it any less random. Unless you use random when you mean chaotic.
She can't. I've always thought she was more like Zappa than Faust

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I thought it was possible to get the same ghost twice in a row with Zappa?

Zappa doesn't have repeat prevention, yea. The two comments weren't related, at least, I didn't think they were. Platinum plays like Zappa regardless of not being able to repeat items.

I think they'll probably throw in working matchmaking, some more settings and call it a day.
It'd be nice if they put cccaster directly into it but yeah, that sounds unlikely. Though, I think I heard a while ago that they integrated some kind of fan-made netplay solution into one of Guilty Gear games on steam or something? I don't know, I'm probably mistaken.
At this point, I'm more worried about UNIEL's netcode. Really hoping they improve it for the port but I'm not holding my breath.

Last night I finally got around to trying all the new SG characters. I was pumped for Robo-Fortune until I discovered her beams don't knockdown, and are more like Iron Man beams. :-(
I think Painwheel probably still needs to stick with Double's flying butt slam assist for max utility. I could get rid of Parasoul, but I don't even know who I would want to replace her with. If only Peacock's assist wasn't nerfed, I'd run Peacock/Painwheel/Double.
Oh yeah, and FGW Discord chat; quote to reveal link:

ya'll ready for PC SFV cheaters and dudes running the game with sub-recommend specs and PS4 players turning off crossplay

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
Born ready.
Yeah I have it on both platforms just in case. Though if Capcom doesn't fix their shit on the DirectInput front I may just refund the PC version.

I want this raining stage on XRD but i'm not ready to pay $7 for it and Leo :/
Atleast you didn't spend cash to get Sin when you could just unlock him
iirc they only knockdown when you use her level 3.
I prefer '98. Here's the thing though- if you're looking to play online, both were pretty much DOA. I've seen a few people on 2002 at least.
I don't know. Zappa is more of a stance changer than an item user.
lol
Funny thing is, during the beta I noticed more lag playing vs PC players. I had the same issue with Rocket League as well.
I'll be turning off crossplay day one.

I wonder when ASW will reveal Dizzy...if she isn't in the Revelator home console release, I will be very disappointed.
Though if you want to play the easiest character in the game, Leo is there for you.
I also didn't know that you have to call Robo assist 4x to get the Hidden Missiles. Seems excessive.
I don't blame you.

Laaaaame.

Yeah, it's like his full moveset. I can't see how Platinum is closer to him than Faust.
A lot of them had the potential for amazing move-sets, but that's not why most voters based their picks on and you know it

He's had that since I think GGXX nothing new or op in Xrd

The vote would have sucked if it didn't get me a character I want.
It got me a character I want, so the vote is great.

It does fundamentally alter how the characters are played. If I do a combo with a mid-combo item toss using Faust, I need a dozen plans to account for each possible item. If someone jumps at me, I can't item toss knowing it will be a hammer thus allowing me to anti-air. It's fundamentally different.

two DLC characters = the same price I bought the game for :/
and that's why the vote thing sucked
It's funny how with the money they got they could have finished the game like they intended but I doubt they could have gotten the money needed if the tiers were Umbrella> Black Dahlia> Marie. Though I think I would have loved playing with Black Dahlia based on her description.
That's how they get you. "Oh wow this game is cheap bought wait WTF why is the DLC the same price as the game?!"
They should be based on past gen Arc games.

For future reference, you should download arcsys dlc characters during their first free week. That way, no matter when you actually get the game you'll already have those characters
Dont think Leo was ever free. Elphelt was.

I've been getting my feet wet with skullgirls the past week or so. Think I'm gonna do a filia squigly team. Not sure how I feel about the game being very reset heavy from what I saw of combo breaker top 8 but obviously havent played online yet

You're right. My bad. Still, it's a good thing to keep in mind.
I prefer 2002UM. As someone who got into the series with XIII, 2k2um's meter system is closer to what I'm used to. I get more satisfaction out of the elaborate combos in it, and enjoy its more-original/oddball character archetypes. When I was starting out, I was having an easier time tracking down high-level match footage for it too, which probably shaped my decision.
However, I've had an easier time finding people willing to play 98UMFE offline when I've travelled. The impression I'm given is that it's lower-investment and better-rewards a player's understanding of KOF's neutral game. I'll concede that it's also the prettier game of the two. Plus, I'm guessing it doesn't feature a team as ubiquitous in high level play as K'/Kasumi/Nameless.
Really though, I imagine the main selling point for 2k2UM is that it plays out with bigger critical moments, while 98UMFE plays out more like an SF game.
Anyone else willing to comment? Juicebox in the house?

My wish is that Indivisible is incredibly successful, and it leads to Skullgirls 2 on the PS5.
